Marinated Olive & Cheese Ring Recipe

We love to make Italian meals into celebrations, and an antipasto always kicks off the party. This one is almost too pretty to eat, especially when sprinkled with pimientos, fresh basil and parsley. —Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania

"My husband absolutely loves marinated olives and can practically make a meal out of them. This was a no brainer to make. I read the other reviews and used regular cream cheese as recommended. I used rosemary olive oil bread because that is what I had on hand. It was a HUGE hit with him and his mother."

"Fabulous. Made 3 times during the Holiday at repeated requests. You MUST use full fat cream cheese for the slices to hold shape. I didn't want to fool with basil, garlic and parsley and I had basil pesto on hand so I just used it. I also added a ring of pepperoni around the outside of ring. I did use pimentos and I only used black and regular green olives. The artichoke someone suggested would have been great. Served this with sea salt pita chips. As you can tell with multiple requests for a repeat it was a hit each time!"

"I made this for a New Year's party, it was a hit! The olives are perfectly flavored to accompany the cheese. It was a great nibble appetizer!"

"This is a great appetizer! So pretty and soooo delicious! I love it at Christmas because of the colors, but I've started making it year round. Everyone who's tried it has loved it. I've made it with mild white cheddar and it was good, too. I've also started slicing the olives. They stay on the bread better that way. Still looks pretty. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Patricia."

"The balsamic vinaigrette-cream cheese combo made me a little skeptical at first, but oh my goodness. It's one of my new go-to potluck apps. Just make sure to tote the ingredients in sealed containers, then plate it up when you get to the party. It's pretty tedious to carry around pre-assembled."

"This was the easiest appetizer I made during the holidays. I will definitely serve it again. I followed some suggestions and substituted the cheese selections. I used bocconcini and gruyere. I also added some artichoke hearts as suggested. I may follow another suggestion and add feta next time."

"I made this for a Christmasdinner buffet and it was delicious! I preferred the cream cheese to the white cheddar, but both were very good. I am going to use the leftovers as a topping for some broiled chicken that's on the menu tonight!"

"This was okay, but I won't make it again. The cream cheese did not stand up with the other cheese. The olive oil mixture was nice on the olives, so I will use a combination of this part again."
